"Ah Yan…"
"Ah Yan…"
Who was it? Who was Ah Yan?
Her surroundings were pitch black. She couldn't move at all, but she felt the world spinning as if she had fallen into a whirlpool. She followed the whirlpool down, down, like a bottomless pit with no end in sight.
"Do you know how big of a mistake you have made?"
She tried hard to open her eyes, but it was useless.
A faint light suddenly lit up in front of her, and a blurry figure slowly approached her.
"You…"
She tried her best to squeeze out a word from between her teeth. Before she could say the second word, her vision blurred. A woman with tears of blood, white pupils, and a pale face appeared in front of her.
"Do you know your mistake…"
"Ah!"
Lian Xuan Luo sat up from the bed, cold sweat trickling down her face and down her neck.
For the past fourteen years, she often had similar dreams. Today, she was even more arrogant. She looked at the calming incense that her master had given her on the table. It seemed that it did not have any effect.
It was already night outside. The pear tree outside the house rustled in the wind. The shadows of the trees danced through the window and imprinted on her face.
Lian Xuan lowered her head and looked at her trembling right hand. She sighed and covered her left hand.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Lian Xuan Luo turned her face to the side. When Fei was wearing a good coat, he had already jumped behind the door.
She naturally knew who was looking for her at this time.
"Luo 'er, are you asleep?" The man's voice was so soft that even Luo Xuan could only hear him clearly by leaning against the door.
"Squeak…"
She quietly pulled the door open to a width that was enough for her head to stick out. She looked at the hunched man in front of her, who was looking around in fear of being caught. She asked," Where do you want to go again?"
The man in front of her chuckled." It's Chinese Valentine's Day today. Menglan Town is especially lively. Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Lian Xuan Luo was never an honest person. Hearing this, her eyes lit up. The two of them had the same idea.
Menglan Town.
This was the eighth time this month that Lian Junnan had brought her down the mountain.
At this time, Menglan Town was very lively. The streets were bustling with activity. Because it was the Chinese Valentine's Day, there were many shy girls and expectant boys.
From the moment they descended the mountain, Lian Luo had been in a bad mood. Suddenly, Lian Junnan placed a mask with a pink pig's head in her arms. She raised her head and saw an identical blue pig's head in front of her.
"Puff…"
Lian Junnan took off his mask and said unhappily," You're acting a little strange today. If it was any other time, I would be the one chasing after you, afraid that you would be like a wild horse that has lost its reins. What's wrong with you today?" Did you get scolded by Elder Zhu Mian?"
Lian Luo Xuan lowered her head and glanced at the pink pig head in her hand, which was smiling brightly. She then raised her head and forced an extremely ugly smile on her face." It's nothing. I just don't feel well today. Didn't you see that I didn't go to the Everlasting Feast Hall for dinner today?" I'm hungry. Let's go eat something delicious, okay?"
Knowing her temperament, Lian Junnan looked at her with disdain." What an ugly smile!"
Menglan Town was located at the foot of the Jade Gate Mountain. It was protected by the Jade Gate Mountain. No matter how the outside world fought, it lived and worked in peace and contentment all year round.
Mount Yu was one of the six major sects in the Immortal Cultivation world. Lian Xuan Luo was only four or five years old when she first arrived here. She was picked up by the Sect Master of Mount Yu, Lian Qisui, on the road. As he did not know where she came from or the names of her parents, he changed his surname to Lian and adopted her as his adopted daughter.
Lian Qisui liked her very much. Although she had lost her previous memories, she was smart, clever, and eccentric, which won his heart.
The Lian Junnan who was playing with the blue pig head in his hand was Lian Qisui's son, the rightful Young Master of Mount Yu. However, the relationship between the father and son was extremely bad. Every time they met, they would quarrel.
It seemed that Lian Xuan Luo's personality was to Lian Junnan's liking. The two of them had been in trouble together since they were young, and they had shared good fortune together.
Drunken Fragrance Restaurant.
This was a well-known restaurant in Menglan Town. It could be considered one of the best in the cultivation world. Many people came here because of its reputation, which showed how popular it was.
"Waiter! Give me a pot of pear blossom wine, steamed pike, fried mutton, wine meatballs, pork lungs in chili sauce, spicy…"
"Hey!" Lian Junnan waved his hand and said to Lian Xuan Luo, who was standing in front of him with shining eyes," There are two of us. How much do you want?" Besides, you still dare to drink?"
Lian Xuan Luo blinked and closed the book. She looked at him and said to the waiter," Spicy chicken and two bowls of rice!"
"Alright, sir. Please wait a moment. I'll be right there!"
Lian Junnan shook his head." With your personality, I really don't understand why Elder Zhu Mian took you as his disciple back then."
"Hey, you don't understand, do you?"
"What do you know?" said Lian Xuan while munching on melon seeds. My master saw that my immortal bones were special and that I was a good seedling for cultivation!" Seeing her smug look, it was as if she was not the one who said that she was not feeling well.
"Have you heard? Recently, a new restaurant opened in town. The girls inside are all top-notch…"
The voice from the table next to hers caught Lian Xuan Luo's attention. She heard the man saying " one for each of you " and then fell silent. From the corner of her eye, she saw him secretly giving a thumbs up to the man sitting across from her.
The wine was served on the table. Lian Luo Xuan lifted her wine glass and took a sip. This Pear Blossom Wine was a specialty of Menglan Town. To her, a cup of it every day could refresh her mind. However, at this moment, she no longer had the interest to drink. She was focused on listening to the conversation at the next table.
" But then again, this Pavilion of Delicacies has only been open for seven days, and there was a murder. It was said that she died in bed. It seems that the Lady Boss has some power behind her, so she secretly suppressed this matter and did not make it public."
"Then how did you know?"
"I have a relative who does odd jobs there. He saw it with his own eyes. That person's death can only be described as miserable. At that time, he was carried out naked…"
The more Lian Xuan Luo listened, the more excited she became. Lian Junnan kicked the table." What are you doing? Why aren't you focusing on eating…"
"Shh!"
She leaned forward and lowered her head. A life has been lost in the Thousand Beauties Pavilion."
Lian Junnan glanced at the man next door and said," I advise you not to get involved in this matter. Go back and tell Elder Zhu Mian and…"
He paused and then said," The Sect Leader said that if anything happens in the town, I'm afraid that the disciples won't be able to handle it. I'm afraid that there will be more trouble."
Lian Xuan Luo snorted.
"You're afraid of causing trouble, but I'm not. Besides, why bother godfather and master with such a small matter?"
"Coward," she added after glaring at him.
"You!"
His face turned red when Lian Xuan Luo called him a coward. He was the young master of Mount Yu, how could he be called a coward by a woman?
"I'm warning you, if the situation doesn't look right, retreat immediately!"
After saying that, Lian Junnan downed a cup of wine. A bright smile appeared on Luo Xuan's face.
